I have misgivings even now. .. .. my kids are ten and already claim to understand why I don't like Shirley Temple. . . . but when I'm not looking they still slip the DVDs in and watch them. I think they love music.

I think the whole Shirley Temple saga was a deliberate attempt by the robber barons to rehabilitate their reputations in the public eye.

which brings up a pleasant note on the day. I had a nice chat with an accomplished (published) author of children's literature. I'm gonna get some autographed books for my kids.

That's cool. Who was it? I've always wanted to write a children's book.
 
Who remembers those pastel colored candy dots that you'd eat off strips of paper? I remember thinking they were so cool when I was a kid. Now all I can remember is how you'd end up eating paper as much as you'd eat candy,and the candy didn't even taste like anything anyhow, and I really don't understand how they could be the least bit appealing.

"Memries,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way (things) were"
.
I remember my parents giving us each a quarter and we would ride our bikes to 7-11 and get "penny candy." Occasionly, we'd buy something from the next row up (5 cents), but then it never seemed we were getting as much so we usually stuck with just those individual pieces of candy on the bottom shelf. Waxed lips and mustaches were always popular, as was the cigar-shaped pink gum.

I had a girlfriend who used to bawl when we watched The Way We Were. I hadn't figured the world out back then, and I thought there might be something intrinsically worthwhile in it. . . . .

then one day I went. . . . . Whoa. . . . . we're getting sentimental about commies??????

From then on I just hated the song too. And the singer.
 
And, folks, we have a new page, a new century, and a new millenium. . . .

and I'm off to the hills. . . .
